   On a seperate note, why do people feel the need to exaggerate their Quora profile/education level/accomplishments? I'm not the only one who's noticed how many Quora profiles are filled with ludicrous, self-aggrandizing d

    why do you need voice support? & is there no lower-level solution? IE why do you need your discord client to do voice transcription?

    Did you factor in repair costs? A 14in MBP with an M3 Pro/36GB/1TB is $2800. Add 10% sales tax, and that's about 3k.

    In practical terms, ChromeOS is radically different from every other Linux (desktop) distro. The usecase is very different, and the day to day handling of the system is also very different. It makes sense to track ChromeOS in it's own
